Smallmouth Bass
Pueblo Reservoir is also a surprisingly good destination for Smallmouth Bass. The rocky shorelines and submerged structure create ideal habitat for these hard-fighting fish. The best time to target smallies here is late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. They tend to congregate near rocky points and drop-offs. Try using crankbaits or tube jigs along these areas to entice a strike. Consider launching from the North Marina for easy access to some of the best smallmouth habitat on the north side of the reservoir. Be mindful of the often-intense sun and heat, especially during the summer months; bring plenty of water and sun protection. Also, check the Pueblo Reservoir water levels before planning your trip, as they can fluctuate and impact access to certain areas.
